Vets - I need your advice regarding vitamins

[OnMyWay2Thin]

Hello,

Just checking in with some more experienced DSers regarding vitamins. Lately, I've been feeling sick whenever I take my vitamins. I still take them religiously but started thinking, perhaps I'm taking too much of something. I scheduled a blood test for Tuesday so I'll get results a little after that. In the meantime, do you think I should cut back on taking my vitamins. I've always lived by the rule that they are now my lifeline but this nausea and sick feeling in my stomach has me thinking I'm overdosing on one of them. I take the Vita-lady schedule for DSers along with Magnesium cholate twice a day, Magnesium Citrate once a day, Colace twice a day, biotin, omeprazole, armour thyroid, and potassium. I just can't stand this sick feeling and I've had it for about two weeks now.

Your advice would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Kelly

Hi, Kelly,

Not exactly an expert here, but, I get nausea occasionally when I take too many at the same time (not 10 in one swallow, but, say, 10 in 4 or 5 swallows, all within a couple minutes of one another)

Have you tried just taking one or two, then waiting 15 or 20 minutes? It would be a pain in the butt, but (SWIDT?), if it helped with the nausea, that's worth something.

Hope you get answers soon!

Do you take them with food or on an empty stomach? I always take mine with food.

Caprice, you are absolutely correct. I will try that. Yes, it might be annoying to drag out the routine, but if I avoid feeling that way, it's well worth it! Thanks for the advice!

Mark540, I actually did this yesterday. I had quickly read your response and said, I'm going to do that. Wow, a lot of thinking goes into it because I want to sandwich those pills in between food. So, I made sure I had enough good stuff with me to take all my doses on some food. Guess what?! It worked. I'm afraid to get overly optimistic and will also try Caprice's suggestion, but yesterday I didn't get sick when I surrounded those pills with food. Thanks for the great advice!

Have a great weekend,
Kelly
